3.75

The good:
  • Lovable characters (for the most part) 
  • Queer found family <3
  • Diverse main characters 
  • Description of burnout and mental illness 

The eh:
  • Some of the dialogue felt incredibly unrealistic to me (like the full names) 
  • The more poetic, lyrical writing was very pretty but sometimes it didn’t mesh with the rest of the book 
  • How the hell was she surviving jobless, jumping from place to place?
  • If my friend told me they were having a bad time and then disappeared off the face of the earth I would be PISSED and I just feel like none of her friends were mad enough

It was a solid, quick, entertaining read but I think I was looking for more. While I related to Grace, I didn’t feel a lot of emotion.
